Learn about a special new story for Passover. Did you know they used a real brick out of necessity instead of Charoset on their Seder plate? The story is about Private J.A. Joel, a Union soldier fighting in the Civil War in 1862. Camped out with the rest of his unit in the West Virginia Mountains, he has no chance of going home for Passover but, when one of the soldiers manages to arrange a shipment of matzah to be sent to their camp, Joel and his fellow Jewish soldiers stage a Seder to remember.
